If a user is accessing a QuickBase application through a web browser, once the call to API_Authenticate has been made successfully, the ticket cookie will be used automatically: there is no need to explicitly supply the ticket value as returned in the XML.

In order for someone to use a QuickBase application accessed through the API, they will need to be assigned a role within that QuickBase application by the application administrator. The roles are set up in QuickBase to provide varying kinds of access.
